Chapter 197 Ask the Wise
Su Qi was entangled in thousands of turns, and Mu Yunsong, who was somewhere on the outskirts of Guangning City at the moment, was also facing a difficult choice.
He and Helian Yu are sitting in a small pavilion made of green bamboo, surrounded by mountains and mountains, which is a good place to escape from the world.
In the small pavilion, the ingenious bamboo pipe was used to attract the mountain spring water, and the old man with the red hair in coarse cloth clothes was using the bamboo tube to receive the spring water to cook tea, and said with a smile in his mouth: "The prince and the marquis have not come for a long time, and they have tasted the new tea that I have grown and fried myself." ”
The cup of tea held by this old man is also cut into a bamboo tube, and the boiling new tea is injected, which has a clear aroma and is unique. Ran Mu Yunsong took a sip of the tea, but symbolically tasted it, and put it down with a heavy heart.
The old man smiled: "What, it's not to the taste of the little prince?" ”
On the other hand, Helian Yu said eagerly: "Mr. Wu, I came to visit with the prince all the way, but not to taste tea!" ”
The old man known as Mr. Wu glanced at him and said unhurriedly: "Since the two of you are willing to come to Lao Yu to ask for advice, Lao Yu will mention a sentence: You must have calm in every major event, and if you are impetuous, you will lose one percent first." ”
Helian Yu was choked by him speechless, so he had to bow his head angrily and drink tea, but Mu Yunsong arched his hand to the old man and said: "I know that Mr. Wu has been in seclusion in the mountains and forests for a long time, and he doesn't ask about the world, so it is really helpless to take the liberty of visiting today, and I also ask Mr. Wu to look at my father and guide the younger generations." ”
As he spoke, he took out a note from his sleeve and respectfully presented it to Mr. Wu with both hands. Mr. Wu read it carefully, his face became a little solemn, and he raised his eyes to Helian Yu and asked, "Where is he now?" ”
"According to the report, we will arrive in Quang Ninh City in these two days." Helian Yu was a little embarrassed, "But he is also surrounded by masters, his whereabouts are strange, and our informant has been missing several times." ”
Mr. Wu sneered: "Your ability is not as good as others, so why bother looking for so many excuses." ”
Helian Yu was sarcastic by the old man's repeated remarks, and he was so angry that he almost got up to shoot the case, but the stakes were very high, and they had to grit their teeth and swallow their anger.
"It doesn't matter if you stare at it or not, the purpose of his trip is obvious, sooner or later he will come to Guangning City." Mr. Wu raised his eyes and said to Mu Yunsong, "The vendetta of two generations, he came at you this time, the prince should be careful." ”
"I don't know." Mu Yunsong sighed, "But after thinking about it, I can't decide how to deal with it, so I came here to ask Mr. Wu for advice." ”
Mr. Wu twisted a few strands of gray beard under his chin and stared at the note silently.
Mu Yunsong and the others knew that he was thinking about countermeasures, and he was more and more bated his breath and did not dare to come out, this Mr. Wu Yong and Wu were geniuses at that time, and he had assisted the former king Mu Yutang in the past, and he frequently performed miraculous feats, and was praised as "the first wise man in Yanbei" by the first prince. Later, when the prince died, Mr. Wu asked himself to escape the world and go into seclusion, but he left a message, saying that if the little prince encountered a big problem, he could still come to him.
Mr. Wu pondered for a long time without moving, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "The old decay has three strategies, the upper strategy is to kill, the middle strategy is to deter it, and the lower strategy is to confuse, I don't know which one the little prince prefers?" ”
Mu Yunsong put down the teacup in his hand, and said respectfully: "I would like to hear it." ”
Su Qi put down the teacup in his hand, closed his eyes and exclaimed, "It's so fragrant!" ”
She was haunted by that strange dream for a day, she didn't even have much appetite for lunch, she didn't know the taste of food, and at this time, she smelled the aroma wafting from He Kee Restaurant next door, and instantly became hungry.
Pomegranate smiled: "This smell smells, it must be the lotus girl frying the plum dried vegetable patty, and the aroma can be transmitted eight streets!" ”
Umeboshi patty...... Su Qi instantly recalled the hot and fragrant meatloaf in her mind, fried until the inside was soft and crispy on the outside, with a sizzling oil flower in the mouth, and the crispy and tender beef with plum vegetables was salty and fragrant, which made her almost burst her belly last time......
She licked her lips, but felt that the awkward emotions in her heart were instantly replaced by a yearning for food, and she hurriedly got up and went to He Ji Restaurant.
"You little lady Yu is a dog? The cake has not yet come out of the pan and followed the taste? ”
In the kitchen, Cai Lian glanced at her coquettishly, and pushed the freshly out of the pot meatloaf into a porcelain plate in front of her.
"That's not it, the meat patties fried by our lotus picking girl can be called a must in Guangning, one bite can prolong the longevity of ten years, and three bites can be immortal." Su Qi ate other people's mouths and was busy complimenting.
"Look at what you said, my meatloaf has become the queen mother's peach!" Cai Lian smiled, lowered her head and pasted the freshly made cake into the pot, "The fifth master is also good at this bite, it is said that it is more delicious than the palace banquet made by the imperial kitchen......
She paused as she spoke, and then stopped talking.
Su Qi knew that since that incident, Mu Wuye had never set foot in He Ji Restaurant again in order to avoid suspicion, so Cailian hadn't seen him for a long time.
Now, Su Qi saw Cailian staring at the meatloaf in the pot with red eyes, and he couldn't forget the sad past, so he couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and hurriedly got up and stepped forward to gag: "How did you fry this cake?" Let me steal the teacher, and open a branch to rob your business in the future! ”
Cai Lian came back to her senses and pushed her with disgust: "This is the craft of my He family, how can I allow you to learn it?" Go, go, eat in the lobby, don't get in my way here! Seeing that Su Qi didn't leave, he was angry and funny, "The oil cake is delicious, but the oily smell is stained when fried, and you can't wash it off, so you don't want to hide out?" ”
Su Qi saw that she was no longer sad, Fang Le went to the lobby with the cake, and was about to enjoy it, but he heard an exaggerated praise from the door: "It's so fragrant!" It's been a long time since I smell this authentic plum vegetable patty! ”
Bosom friend! Su Qi couldn't help but look up, and saw a young man in a dark brocade robe open the door curtain, and stood aside respectfully, letting the man in a purple embroidered cloak behind him enter the door.
Su Qi stared at the man in Xuanyi who lowered his eyebrows for a moment, suddenly became happy, put down his chopsticks and called, "Loach!" ”
The man in the dark robe was stunned, obviously he hadn't been called the nickname "loach" for many years, and when he looked up in the direction of Su Qi, his face was instantly full of incredible surprise.
He settled the man in the purple cloak in an accord in the clinic, and then hurriedly ran to Su Qi in three steps and two steps, raised his hand and knocked on her head, and said in surprise: "Xiao Qi! It's you! ”
Su Qi covered the door of his red head and protested: "I haven't seen it for many years, why hasn't the problem of loving hands still not changed?" ”
The man in Xuanyi, who was called a loach, didn't care, pulled a stool and sat down opposite her, picked up the meatloaf in front of her and put it in his mouth, chewing and asking vaguely: "Why are you here when you don't stay in the mountains?" ”
You don't dislike me...... Su Qi stared at the cake in his mouth and sighed: "I followed Mr. Su down the mountain two years ago, and now I have opened a feng shui shop in Guangning City. ”
At the mention of "Mr. Su", the loach was visibly choked, "That weird old man is also in Quang Ninh?" ”
"He's not here." Su Qi found that he hadn't thought of Mr. Su for a long time, "That dead ghost left me to elope with his junior sister a year ago, and now there is no news." ”
"I know that he is not a decent gentleman, and he has an empty appearance." The loach takes a bite of the meatloaf and expresses its deep hatred for the enemy.
Thinking of the festival between Loach and Mr. Su back then, Su Qi still wanted to laugh, stared at him and asked, "Loach ......"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he knocked on the door of his head again, "Call the third senior brother!" ”
Su Qi rubbed his head and protested: "You are not my third senior brother...... her third senior brother obviously has someone else.
Back then, a pair of twin brothers of the Xia family in the capital, Xia Ke and Xia Yan, both went to the mountain to learn art, and they were clearly compatriots of the same mother, and they looked like they were drawn from a mold, but their temperaments were completely different. Xia Yan is honest, he is straightforward in everything he does, and he can't be more serious; Although Xia Ke is an elder brother, his personality is flamboyant and jumpy, full of ghost ideas, and he can't sit still like a monkey when he learns art.
And at that time, he often deliberately made trouble in class and made some noises, which provoked the master to warn him by name: "Xia Ke (out of class)!" He got up and saluted in a fake manner: "Master, hard work! Before the gentleman could react, he had already slipped out of the door and disappeared.
Because of his stubborn nature of not slippery and undeserved, he got the nickname "Loach." He had only been studying art in the mountains for half a year, and finally his husband couldn't bear it, saying that his rotten wood could not be carved, and he was expelled from the school and driven down the mountain.
Because he was persuaded to retire, the original position of Xingsan was given to his younger brother Xia Yan, so Su Qi kept calling the old-fashioned Xia Yan "Third Senior Brother", and refused to admit the half-assed senior brother Loach.
"Isn't your home in the capital? How did you get to Quang Ninh? Su Qi raised his eyes and glanced at the man in the fine room not far away, "Who came with you?" ”
"That...... Xia Ke clenched his fist and coughed unnaturally, "Yes...... My son-in-law. ”
"Your son-in-law?" Su Qi immediately quipped, "Didn't you brag to us back then, saying that your Xia family was also a famous family in the capital, and you were the eldest young master of the family who was like a fake, why did you become someone else's domestic servant now?" She deliberately leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "You...... Fallen in the middle of the road? ”
"You're just in the middle of the road!" Xia Ke raised his hand and knocked again, "Can't you hope I get better?" He glanced at the man in Chinese clothes embarrassedly, "I said it wrong, it's a friend, a friend, ......"
After saying that, he saw that his "friend" was giving him a look, Xia Ke's forehead was black, and he put down the meatloaf with some reluctance, leading Su Qi to meet this "friend".
"This is Yun Zeyun Gongzi." He glanced at Su Qi again, and a smile crossed the corner of his eye, "This is my little junior sister, Su Qi." ”
Su Qi bowed down and said, "Yun Gongzi is polite." Quietly looked this Yun Gongzi in brocade clothes up and down, and saw that he was the same age as Mu Yunsong, his face was thin and fair, but his eyes were deep, and it always seemed to be covered with a layer of night, making people unable to see through the inside; The bridge of his nose was high and a little hooked, his thin lips were pursed, and after a pause, he said lightly: "Miss Su is exempt." ”
However, the five words revealed a kind of high-minded and polite, which made Su Qi feel uncomfortable when he heard it, and felt that this Yun Gongzi's miserable temperament was not a kind and kind person.
I felt that his appearance was a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't remember who he was born like.
